Simon Griffiths

He picked up golf at the age of seven at the famed Wentworth Golf Club in London and credits his father for introducing him to the sport because he was a member of the Club. He says his most memorable golf experiences are finishing second in the 2008 Volvo China Open and playing in the 1993 Open as an Amateur. He won the Sunningdale foursomes in both 2003 and 2004 alongside Ross Fisher.

The Englishman produced his best performance on Tour when he finished T-2nd at the Volvo China Open in 2008 with a 1-under par 287. The result was enough to help him seal his Tour card for 2009 as he ended the year in 21st place on the rankings. Simon started 2009 strongly with a T-11th place at the Asian Tour International in Thailand. One other top-10 at the Indonesia Open and four top-30s helped secure his 2010 Tour card with a 46th place finish on the Order of Merit. Simon made his debut on the Asian Tour in 2006 and enjoyed a flying start with a T-5th at the Aamby Valley Asian Masters in India. He went on to register a T-10th finish in the Brunei Open.
